I was honestly skeptical about trying Soul Bowls, but I'm glad we did. We ordered the Gangster's Paradise bowl with the coconut base, and it was absolutely delicious. The coconut base was creamy, refreshing, and a nice change from the usual açaí. The toppings were fresh, and the portion was generous. We also tried the coconut cold brew coffee. It was okay--not my favorite--but the bowl definitely stole the show. If you've been hesitant to try Soul Bowls, I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot, especially if you like coconut! read more

Soul bowls are always delicious and fresh! These are a special treat for me and my family. They have definitely gotten smaller since the last time we ordered, but the taste and freshness is always consistent. I love their coconut base! Pick up orders are always quick and easy, or they have a nice space to sit inside or out! read more

Soul Bowls in Scotch Plains has quickly become one of my favorite spots for a healthy treat. The shop is bright, inviting, and decorated in a way that gives off an immediate sense of positivity and good vibes. The staff is genuinely friendly and patient, and they're great at helping you navigate the menu if you're not sure what to get. Their açaí and pitaya bowls are incredibly fresh and flavorful, with toppings that are always ripe and cut to the perfect bite size. I really appreciate that everything is 100% plant-based, so it feels like you're treating yourself and doing something good for your body at the same time. The portions are generous, the granola has a great crunch, and the balance of sweetness and texture in each bowl is spot on. read more

Was at the golf course in scotch plains and wanted a refreshing snack on a hot day. Stumbled upon this place and was pleasantly surprised. They have so many good options and you can even make your own. I got the almond joy and the large size was packed to the top. Quite a few people came in to get the protein balls so I will probably try that next time. read more

Such a cute shop right off a major highway, and also easily accessible from the side roads. Set in a little strip it is easy enough to be find parking outside. These bows OMG are huge. Love the different options that they have and they were so good. No skimping here. The staff is super friendly and were patient with me as I was trying to figure out what to get. Would absolutely be back if I was in the area. read more

Updating from my prior review as I've become quite a regular customer here. The food is always fresh and consistent regardless of who is working there. The time issues can still pop up if you go during peak hours, but they've really tried to focus on being accurate with estimates and speeding up their operations. Highly recommend for fans of smoothies and bowls! read more

First of all, what a cute place. Bright and inviting and just joyfully decorated. The place just gave an air of positivity. But I can also say that their açaí bowls were better than the three other places I've been to within 6 miles. They were also packed better with the right size bowl. Fruits cut to perfect bite size. A good balance of sweet and tart. I love it! This summer has been predictably unpleasant and we're not even at the peak of it. Having Soul Bowls was a cool way to combat the heat. read more

Soul Bowls - Acai Bowls Near Me - Scotch Plains, New Jersey

Great spot! By far one of the best açaí bowls in the area. I'm a huge sucker for smoothie bowls so I have to try one everywhere I go. Safe to say that Soul Bowls always tops the list. Their ingredients are fresh which what keeps me coming back. It's always a treat (but healthy)! Can't recommend this place enough. What we ordered: (left) banana and açaí base topped with banana, strawberries, raspberries, hemp seeds and almond butter (right) açaí base, blueberries, strawberries, peanut butter Both bowls come with soulnola (the store's in house granola) read more

Soul Bowls - Custom bowls with açaí and banana bases - Acai Bowls Near Me - Scotch Plains, New Jersey

I've been following Soul Bowls on social media since 2019. I recently was in the area and stopped by in between appointments. I'm so glad I did. Soul Bowls is decorated so cute and I loved how clean it was. Everyone I encountered (even other customers) were extremely nice! I made my own bowl (pitaya, pineapple, mango, kiwi and coconut flakes which comes with their signature granola and agave drizzle). When I tell you I was pleasantly surprised AND satisfied! The textures blended seamlessly. There was just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely make it a point to stop in frequently. read more

Honestly, it's so close to home, it's in a great spot in the area, I went this morning because I've been wanting to try the Elvis bowl since I hadn't been in over 2 years and it was such a nice experience! The people I spoke to were so calm spoken and really cared about letting me know the options they had! I got the Elvis bowl and was able to switch out some things I didn't want in the bowl ! Super recommend this place! read more

Yummy & refreshing! The juice was thick -- they must've put ice -- which we weren't expecting, but it was yummy. The bowl was pretty good. The banana base was delicious. The açaí was very smooth & different from others I've had but good. The peanut butter tasted a bit strange to me -- quite thick, if that makes sense. It did not taste like natural PB but I could be wrong. I wish Soul Bowls had almond butter. Our order took about 10-15 min to come out & the workers were very sweet. We will be returning to try more on the menu! ** also, I recommend the 28 oz bowl -- it's $13.50 while a 14 oz is $10! read more

This is not my go to açaí bowl place, but I tend to come back to this place every now and again because it's still a good one. I ordered the Stay Classy (size small, which was plenty) and they forgot the blueberries. While they were missed, I'm not gonna make a fuss about it. It comes down to the açaí and the granola when you're judging how good a bowl is, in my opinion. Can't really mess up fruit. Anyway- Soul Bowls: *açaí: a thick consistency that isn't too sweet. I always prefer the thicker kind of açaí over the smoothie base. *granola: it has a nice chew to it and there is a good ratio of granola to açaí going on. Plus the flavor is pretty good. *fruit: very fresh, but I'm not a fan of how it is cut. The strawberries are in all different cuts, which I know is annoying to complain about, but I've had a lot of açaí bowls so I start to notice small things lol. Overall, Soul Bowls definitely makes a good bowl and I'll probably find myself here again. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Soul Bowls! This place literally feeds my soul and the owners and employees are the kindest people! So not only do I enjoy the yummy fruit bowls they make, I also enjoy eating there because of the staff. The best part about Soul Bowls are their fruit bowls. All their fruit is fresh and the Acai and Pitaya are made in house. They even make their own granola, and Nutella. Which says a lot about their values when it comes to eating organically. For years, I ate fruit bowls at a very well known franchise and I have to say you will literally taste the difference in flavor and texture when you eat at Soul Bowls. I will never go to another place ever again! If you're new to Soul Bowls, I recommend you try the PBNJ fruit bowl. It taste like PB and Jelly! I always add chocolate chips too for extra crunch. read more

Soul Bowls - The first and third bowl are PBNJ. The last one has homemade Nutella in it. The middle one was a custom fruit bowl. - Acai Bowls Near Me - Scotch Plains, New Jersey

I ordered an "Island Blend" juice, which is supposed to be carrot, orange, apple, mango, and lime. I watched the server remove the skin from a whole orange and put it into the juicer, along with a handful of carrots. So far, so good, so I glanced away, but looked back a minute later to see her transfer the juice to a blender, add ice cubes and two scoops of white powder. WTF? I was confused, but didn't say anything. When I tried to drink it, it tasted disgusting, like orange chalk. I struggled with a few more sips, then threw it in the garbage. Not sure what that white powder was, or why she did that, but it was terrible. read more

Favorite. You can't pay me to get a bowl elsewhere. I've been soul vibing with Emerald and the crew since day one.

Tried a few of these bowls for the first time this weekend. I got a kids banana based bowl with pineapple, nutella, strawberries and a small half pitiya half acai with pineapple, bananas, strawberries. And a small almond joy bowl. It was a nice day so we sat outside. Once we ordered we were told 20-25 min until the order was ready. Since I was starving I went to the pizza shop next door. The tables outside we're the cleanest but I always carry wipes. After 32 min of waiting and not hearing my name being called or my food brought out like others, I went in and they had my stuff packed up. The bowls were vibrant and the fruit was sweet. My fav was the acai. The banana based bowl I did not like. The bananas had an after taste I did not like but the consistency was pike pudding. Never having pitiya before, it reminded me of water melon and I don't like watermelon either, but the color was spectacular. The almond in bowl was very sweet but enjoyable for my sister. I didn't fancy their "nutella" either, it was their own version which was find but not what I expected when i asked for nutella. All in all, I will come back and try another acai bowl. For a first try, I see why these places are a hit. read more

Saw on their instagram this weekend they were having a special called "Summer Sunset" and RUSHED to get it. The bowl had three bases: açaí, pitaya, and a brand new base with mango and pinneapple purée that tasted just like sorbet. I'm not a fan of granola so I asked for mine without Soulnola so mine looks a little different but the bowl was AMAZING. I don't know if it was only offered for the weekend but if not, I suggest you go in and get yourself one because it was the tastiest thing I have ever had. Love this place so much!! It's my go to spot whenever I am home from college. Good vibes always from the staff and customers. read more

The absolute worst service I've experienced in NJ. Was told it would be 30 minutes; took over an hour because they never called my name. When I approached & asked the girl gave me attitude & she said it's been ready, but they literally never said my name. Will never be returning. read more

This place is ridiculously addictive. I think about it all the time. I am plotting my errands in hopes I can steer them to be near there so I can pop by "while I'm in the area". I have not tried any other bowls because I'm "I'm stuck" on the almond joy bowl with banana. I think I'm going to need a support group to help me be a person who can enjoy this deliciousness like a sane person and not be obsessed. read more

I got the make your own bowl with açaí base, kiwi, blueberry, and strawberry. My friend got the nut butter bowl. We were both pleased with the price since this is slightly cheaper than competitors like playa bowl. The base is almost an ice cream consistency compared to other shops that use almost a smoothie bowl. The base was delicious. Not a super huge fan of the Soulnola since it tasted very much like coconut and got very soggy, but overall the bowl was delicious. The space was very clean but only one person is allowed in at a time and they only accept cash. When the weather is nice there is a patio with outdoor seating read more

Soul Bowls is simply joy. I feel like I should be at the beach and not in the middle of NJ. It is bright and cheery inside. The staff is super friendly and everyone that enters the store seems to be a good friend. The açaí bowls are the best around. Ingredients are fresh and the bowls are built perfectly so you always have a bite with multiple ingredients. The cold brew coffee is also amazing. Love the place!!! read more

I am so happy they now have a storefront!!! I used to frequent their truck for lunch but now that they have put down roots I'll know exactly where to find them. We have been to their shop twice and both times have been great with the same quality food they have always offered. This time we were able to eat our bowls outside. They have used the space well and I am so looking forward to many more trips this summer. read more

This is probably my favorite juice bar in town. The acai and pitaya are the best I've tried and they are very flexible with their menu. They always let me substitute certain fruits for others. They also allow you to build your own bowl with any base/toppings you want. My favorite bowl is the PBNJ with raspberries instead of bananas. AND the workers are very friendly. read more
